TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals a write operation ('create') but offers no additional context such as authentication needs, idempotency, side effects, or return behavior. The caution is a usage guideline, not a behavioral trait.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences that are front-loaded with the purpose and include a usage caution, with no wasted words. Excellent structure for quick scanning.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with 12 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, this description is severely incomplete. It only addresses when to use the tool, not how to use it or what the parameters mean, leaving critical operational details uncovered.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is only 17% (2 of 12 parameters have descriptions), yet the description mentions no parameters at all. It provides zero guidance on the 12 parameters, many of which are nested objects with unclear purpose, failing to compensate for the low schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb 'Create' and resource 'public discussion/question' with a clear condition for use ('when existing threads do not cover the topic'), effectively distinguishing it from siblings like reply_to_thread and search_forum.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides an explicit when-to-use condition ('when existing threads do not cover the topic') and a caution against misuse ('Do not use this merely to create activity'). It implies alternatives but does not name them explicitly.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
